Penguins and Koalas

Jason and I finally gave up on seeing some Australian animals in their natural environment, so we headed out to Philip Island (just a 2 hour drive from Melbourne) for the weekend to see the fairy penguins in their daily ritual of returning from the ocean at sunset and to a koala conservation center. It was a great time and there were tons of penguins to see! It was also the first day in a long time that it wasn't rainy or windy so it made sitting around in the cold waiting for the penguins a lot more fun. Cameras weren't allowed because they scare the penguins, but here's a picture of them that I found on the penguin parade website:
On Sunday, we visted the koala conservation center where we saw lots of cute little koalas hanging out in the trees. They are nocturnal, so most of them were sleeping the day away but we managed to snap some photos of them.
